Issue #12006 has been reported by Martin D��rst. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12006: return IO object from IO#print, IO#puts, IO#close_read, IO#close_write,... https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12006 * Author: Martin D��rst * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- There are a number of methods on IO objects that currently return nil. It would be more convenient if they returned the object itself; that way, the methods could be chained. Although some people might disagree with this style, this would allow e.g. to write something like output = IO.popen(command, 'r+') do |pipe| pipe << input pipe.close_write pipe.read end as: output = IO.popen(command, 'r+') do |pipe| pipe.print(input).close_write.read end -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
